I agree with your post in its entirety, and (assuming you're

have
forgotten the time when we laughed at Americans for silly things
like
that woman suing McDonalds because she didn't think coffee would be
hot,
thought it was ok to place it next to her reproducing equipment,
and
tried to drive while in that position. If I was the judge I would
have
removed her driving license.

If you dig into the facts of the case it wasn't that blatant. The
woman
was 79 and her grandson was driving. He was parked as she attempted
to
pry the lid off to add creamer and sugar. There was no cup holder so
she
was holding the cup between her knees. She poured 190 degree coffee
on
her crotch and suffered third degree burns, requiring 8 days of
hospitalization and a skin graft.

She asked for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses and her
daughter's
loss of income nursing her through her convalescence. McDonald's
offered
$800 and they were off to the races.

The crux of the plaintiff's presentation was McDonald's kept their
coffee at 180-190 degrees, much hotter than anyone else.


Frivolous lawsuit? Yes but McDonald's could have saved themselves a
lot
of money by not stonewalling at $800. Apparently they never read
'The
Art of the Deal'.

She should have received nothing. Coffee is hot, end of story. She
should have known this. When I make coffee, I BOIL the kettle. It
only cools when adding some milk.


This!


it cools as soon as it stops boiling

Her vagina didn't think so.

Her **** didn't get boiled.


I never said it did, I said it disagreed that the coffee cooled.


The coffee never got to her ****.


The articles I read said she burnt it with the coffee.

Default Lonely Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL

On Wed, 19 Dec 2018 07:47:12 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:

FLUSH another 98 lines of absolutely idiotic troll**** unread again

--
Another typical retarded conversation between our two village idiots,
Birdbrain and Rot Speed:

Birdbrain: "You beat me to it. Plain sex is boring."

Senile Rot: "Then **** the cats. That wont be boring."

Birdbrain: "Sell me a de-clawing tool first."

Senile Rot: "Wont help with the teeth."

Birdbrain: "They've never gone for me with their mouths."

Rot Speed: "They will if you are stupid enough to try ****ing them."

Birdbrain: "No, they always use claws."

Rot Speed: "They wont if you try ****ing them. Try it and see."
